Russian is listed as an official language and 18% of the population is listed as Russian. Neither of these facts are true. I have read the source listed for the ethnic and language groups, Russian isn't listed amongst them. The ethnic group percentages are also 118%, so someone's slipped in an extra 18% Russian. 2A02:C7F:9F52:AB00:854D:885C:54C8:EA55 (talk) 01:27, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
